Giveaway: Women's March Prize Pack

This past weekend I attended the Women's March in Washington, D.C. It was an amazing day and one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I've never marched or protested before. This was my first time. Given my anxiety in crowds and my introverted nature, driving 8 hours through the night on Friday after work and spending my Saturday on my feet, trapped in a sea of humanity didn't sound all that appealing to me.

But if I wanted to live up to my One Little Word this year, I felt like I needed to be a part of this. I want to be on the right side of history. Imagine if I had been given the opportunity to attend the March on Washington back in 1963 and I declined because I don't like crowds. I would have regretted it for the rest of my life.

Words can't express what a powerful day it was, so I guess I'll just try to use pictures instead.

Inspired by the Women's March, I present to you, a Girl Power prize pack:

I was at the march on Trenton. I was sick, and had no voice, but I left feeling amazing. On Monday I found out many of my students were at marches from DC to NJ and NYC. It felt like being part of something amazing and I love that my students are going out and being world-changers.
